Problems solved by technology

These online data storage systems typically provide a snapshot of a PC hard drive at a given point in time that is useful for selective or total system recovery, but provides little or no software management to the users, particularly for the applications software that is needed to operate the PC.
Current NAS systems are relatively expensive and not particularly user friendly.
The existing systems do not provide for comprehensive and efficient software management for the users, again, particularly for the applications software that is needed to operate a PC.
These gateways do not provide any software storage or any significant applications software management options.
SaaS generally recognizes the inherent inefficiencies of the traditional software market, including the tremendous time, effort, and cost that organizations—especially large-scale to mid-sized business have to expend

Example

[0060]The terms “user”, “customer”, “member” and “client” will be effectively interchangeable within this application unless otherwise clear from the context.

[0061]The term “vendor” will generally reference third party sources of software and associated updates unless otherwise clear from the context. The vendor need not be the originator of the software applications or updates thereto.

[0062]The phrases “applications software” or “software applications” have been defined by some to mean programs or sets of programs designed to perform specific user-oriented functions. Alternatively it may be understood to refer to software that is necessary to cause the PC or other digital device to perform operations required / desired by the user. Examples of applications software include operating systems such as Microsoft's Inc.'s Windows® operating system or software to perform various functions such as word processing (e.g. Microsoft's Word® or Corel Corporations Wordperfect® word processing pro...

Abstract

A comprehensive software storage and management method and system includes a storage network and an online, preferably web2.0 software application, which allows the user(s) to store and manage their software applications over the network for any digital device that communicates with the Internet, whether mobile or non-mobile, and whether or not the device is wireless. The application will allow the user(s) to view, manage, upload, download and install any of their available, and to be acquired, software applications over the Internet at anytime via an Internet Connection. The system provides a “one button” upload of new software applications, “one button” download existing or acquired software applications, automatic software authentication for the users and/or vendors, and many other software management options.
